Audiobook and podcast player built for seniors, visually impaired and non-tech-savvy listeners who need an easy way to play audio. Instead of complex menus and unnecessary features, Homer offers a clear, minimal interface focused on one thing: easy audiobook and podcast playback.

Use the special "lockdown mode" to turn an Android tablet into a dedicated, single-purpose audiobook and podcast device.

Designed for:
- Elderly who need simplicity for independent listening
- Visually impaired users who benefit from large controls and spoken titles
- Non-tech-savvy users who find standard apps overwhelming
- People with cognitive challenges who need basic functionality

Easy to use:
- Large, easy-to-tap buttons
- Optional title read-aloud for accessibility
- Flip-to-stop: place device screen-down to pause playback

Lockdown mode:
- only playback functionality
- blocks exiting the app
- no access to other apps, notifications nor settings.
